Joe Alwyn received co-producer recognition for Taylor Swift’s “august.”
Swift and Jack Antonoff are the song’s credited writers, and both were credited as producers in the Folklore liner notes. The Recording Academy later recognized Alwyn as a co-producer after Folklore won Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
Alwyn worked with Swift under the pseudonym William Bowery on several Folklore and Evermore songs. His production contribution to “august” is easy to miss because the original album booklet credited only Swift and Antonoff as producers. That difference between the liner-note credits and later Grammy recognition explains why sources may present the producer information differently.
The answer is not Aaron Dessner, even though Dessner was one of Folklore’s principal producers and collaborators. Dessner also accompanied Swift and Antonoff during the 2021 Grammy performance that included “august,” but he was not the additional co-producer recognized for this track.
